[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Kronshi

I will love to try to push the storyline forward but I don't think Aqua can really do anything at this moment.

It seems like this is decision time....Aqua,Blood, or neutral for later decision.

[Kronshi]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah but only Spinel and Sodalite have actually stated there decision. Amber's, Eve's, and Emerald's choice is obvious but who knows, they still need to post. Howlite could definitely use a post and Zircon hasn't really shown any character depth yet, with a weakness of impatience you would think she'd get impatient more often and have a bit more of a temper but so far she only seems to be going with the story and not actually adding to it like the others.

I've been doing my best to shape up Sodalite's character for the future, and it seems to be working well so far.

@Kronshi

It sounds like Ghost should be posting soon for Howlite so that will help. Though the others choices are clear, it could flip at any time but we won't know till the next post is up. I think Zircon has shown character depth, plus you have to remember that it could be a building character technique or getting into the character to lead into the impatient thing. A lot has gone on after all so it might have been hard to really show that off for any of the characters. They haven't been alive for very long so I am sure some personalities and things are going to show more over time for everyone.

@Akayaofthemoon That's great news!

Also people are actually on now, yay!

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Yeah, I am hoping they will have a post up today but since they think the internet might be fixed today or just getting fixed, it maybe tomorrow.

I am glad people are on though I wish the IC was moving T.T

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon It would be nice to see the IC moving a little more, but on the bright side it gives us more time to come up with quality stuff.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

That is very true ^-^

[21308]

It's also kind of lucky for me that nothing really happened today since I wouldn't have been able to post anything anyway. I was kind of helping my family spread my little brother's ashes for most of it. Uh, sorry if this isn't an appropriate place to say that.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

Omg, I am so sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need and just know we are all here for you if you need to talk.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon You're very kind to say so. I kind of feel guilty about posting it because I really don't want to emotionally manipulate you guys or whatever, but I also just kind of wanted to vent and don't have a lot of places where I can do that.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

You are always free to talk to me if you need too. Don't ever feel like you can't express yourself or vent if you need too. I put my problems and emotional stuff out to you guys and I want you all to feel free to do the same. Don't feel guilty. Bottling it all up would be worse.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Well, I guess the biggest thing today made me realize was how much I wish I'd actually had friends to talk to about it when he actually died. My whole family had friends and significant others and whatnot, but I kind of just had to spend months sorting my feelings out mostly in silence.

[HaltingBlooper]

Well, at least the ones here who have time to post are here for you. But yeah, the internet is a pretty good place to vent.

[21308]

@HaltingBlooper That is very comforting to hear, thank you! And yeah, something I've found is that the best people to vent to about certain things is people who are completely separated from any of the drama or emotion of it.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

That sounds really rough and I am sorry you had to go through that alone and in silence. You have my friendship, I'm here if you need to talk. I know it isn't the same as having someone standing right there by your side but at least I can be here as an ear to listen and be there for you.

[Kronshi]

Here's a song to make people feel better.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Kronshi

That is one of my favorites and very beautiful. It does bring some light back and I hope it made 21308 feel better.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Online friends are way better than none, and it means a lot that you're willing to listen to me at all, thank you.

@Kronshi I happen to love myself some nightcore, as a matter of fact!

[Kronshi]

@21308You don't know what you just started, I will flood this place with nightcore
